Who should be educated first, parents or children?
12 pm sharp.
Every day.
Downstairs apartment.
3 year-old Korean whining. Firm Korean mother restating in sharp Korean idiom the task to be performed. Glassware thrown on the floor. Korean grandma chiding. The first angry bangs on the beast. Doors slamming. The kid is a strong one. Korean mother and grandma reprimanding. Korean mother sampling nice Chopin appetizer. Sobbing, sobbing. Banging, banging. A tricycle and a ball flying out the door. Howling, howling. Small hearts, big hearts--broken.
Korean grandpa and Korean kid hand in hand. Korean kid hopping on the tricycle, grandpa holding the handle, kid licking a popsicle.
The beast is dead.
